Moray Council has proposed an £80 million expansion of Buckie Harbour as part of a bid for the Scottish Government's Just Transition Fund, aimed at addressing economic challenges and supporting a transition to net zero. This initiative, part of the Buckie Harbour Masterplan, seeks £15 million to develop its business case by 2029 and could potentially cost up to £500 million overall, enhancing the port's capabilities for offshore wind and other vessels while securing jobs and attracting investment. Additional proposals include affordable housing and sustainable growth initiatives to bolster Moray's economic opportunities.
